My Vertical 2 Wishlist for Next Update in 2026

I’m not sure, I’d hoped that perhaps a long button push would be possible to implement through the firmware to make more use of the 3 buttons. Or a long touch on the watchface?

During the activity swipe to this screen and there would be a button to turn the flashlight on or off. Even some gesture to brightness could be there. Tap to turn on and off. Swipe up or down for brightness.
Cannot rely on touch. That is no go for an outdoor watch. That would be useless in a rain or even when wearing a long sleeve shirt when the sleeve covers the watch. When I wear a long sleeve shirt I pretty much cannot leave my watch on the map screen because my shirt sleeve starts panning the map all the time.
The best solution I can think of is double tap on the lap button. Implementation of the double tap can be a bit tricky because the first tap would have to be ignored and not trigger a lap, but it could be done. Another possible solution is combination of two buttons where the second button is pressed before the first button is released.
Garmin does actually have that for some of the button shortcuts and that works reasonably well, but buttons should be on the opposing sides of the case for that to be usable. -
On/off toggle for nap detection

Cycling FTP widget (Watch and App.)

@sky-runner How about two at the same time?

@Kaikkionkaytos I need an on-Switch. Because my nap track doesn’t work.

My two cents:
Timer Improvements
- Custom timer presets (e.g. 4 min, 6 min)
- Timer should continue ringing/vibrating until manually dismissed (easy to miss currently)
- Optional escalating vibration/sound if not dismissed
- Option: vibration only (no sound)
Privacy Zones
- Automatic privacy zones around home/work
- Custom radius selection (e.g. 200–1000 m)
- Applies to shared links & exports
Native Live Tracking
- Built directly into Suunto app (no 3rd party dependency)
- Auto-start with activity
- Battery-efficient tracking mode
Activity Editing
- Trim start/end of activity in app
- Remove accidental pauses or idle time
- Keep original file as backup
Custom Button Mapping
- Fully customizable long-press & short-press actions
- Flashlight, Timer, Media, Live Tracking etc.
Notification Controls
- Separate sound & vibration controls
- Quiet hours per notification type
- Repeat alerts option

I think it would be sufficient to have the current timers as a start list and then the watch simply remembers the last 10 recently used ones. So the list will eventually be personalized without the need to implement any additional preset UI…
I like to have a sleep mode without the need to set the watch to full DND. So that urgent calls can reach me while sleeping…
-
Set the alarm more flexible (my workdays are mo,tu,we,th)
Set the gps accuracy a little less accurate without loosing maps
Set beeps + vibrate during activity and only vibrate in watch mode.
Set the datafield in maps to distance to next turn during navigation
Able to permanently turn off morning report (there is literally zero info on it that I need to know first thing in the morning)
Able to turn off sleep measuring without also disabling hrv measuring.
Disabling haptic feedback of the digital crown (when I use the crown I look at the screen. Haptic feedback is only useful when I perform actions without looking)
Or in short, more fine grained settings.

This is how it used to work one year ago.
